MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA

1st May 1996





Announcing the release of:



                    eNotes version 1.6b1 by Eclipse

                    

The latest version of the fully featured Internet email client for Apple 

Newton personal digital assistants.







WHAT IS ENOTES?



        eNotes is a program for your Newton MessagePad that can

        connect to a UNIX host via modem or serial line and

        send or receive Internet mail.  It also provides a nice

        interface for reading, sending and organising your mail.

        



FEATURES



        + Simple login scripting for connecting to your internet

          service provider

        + Clear and easy to use interface

        + Smart text wrapping to overcome the Newton's small screen

          width

        + Full threading of email items with the same subjects

        + Runs at up to 57,600 bps with MNP error correction

        + Works with GSM mobile phones with the appropriate

          hardware connectors

        

        In short it's the most functional email system for handheld

        computers today.

        

        

WHAT DO I NEED TO RUN ENOTES?



        - An Apple Newton MessagePad 100, 110, 120 or 130

        - About 150K free memory

        - A modem or a serial connection to a UNIX host which

          runs POP3 and SMTP servers

        - A shell account on that host

        

        eNotes does NOT currently support SLIP or PPP connections.

        Apple should release TCP/IP capabilities for the Newton

        some time in 1996, but until then shell accounts will be

        all that eNotes supports.





DOES ENOTES COST ANYTHING?



        Yes!  This version of eNotes will allow you to send and

        receive a total of 250 messages.  If you wish to unlock it

        for continued use, you must pay the US$50 registration fee.

        This system ensures that you will not pay for eNotes if it

        doesn't work for you, or even if you just don't like it.

        

        It also ensures that we get something back for all the work

        we've put into this product.  We think that $50 is quite

        a small price to pay, and the money will help us continue

        to support and improve eNotes for you.



        As of this version we also have a student price of $30.

        To take advantage of this you will need to send us your

        registration by mail along with a copy of some evidence

        that you are currently studying, such as a current student

        card or enrolment record.



        If you are a resident of Australia, you may register eNotes

        for the discounted price of AUS$50.

        

        

WHAT DO I GET FOR MY FIFTY BUCKS?



        You get a code that unlocks eNotes and allows you to continue

        using it on a single Newton.

        

        You will get notified of upgrades and other relevant

        information by e-mail.

        

        You will receive free bug fixes and patches for version 1.6.

        

        If you have a Newton with OS 2.0 then you will receive the

        new version 2.0 of eNotes when it is complete.  This version

        will be smaller, faster and better integrated with the new

        operating system.

        

        

WHAT IF I CAN'T GET IT WORKING?



        If you've read the manual ("manual.txt") and you still can't

        get it working, then send us some e-mail at enotes@pobox.com -

        we'll help you if the problem is something that can be solved

        with the current version of eNotes, and we'll take your problem

        into account for the next version of eNotes if we can't fix it

        straight away.

        

        

OK, IT'S WORKING AND I LIKE IT.  HOW DO I KEEP USING IT?



        You will need to know your eNotes serial number.  To find

        this out open eNotes, tap the "i" button at the bottom of the
